Car will be lowered with Tein adjustables to about 1.75 inches and camber will be adjusted to 0 front and rear with Ingalls. I am going to be running 16x7 wheels with 205/45/16 tires. Should I have a 45mm offset or 40 mm offset with a set of Rota Slipstreams?

 

Bump. I just want to make sure I get the right offset and dont end up rubbing when I hit bumps.

 

im pretty sure its 42-43mm offset. i have a 40mm offset on my 16x7 rim, and i rub all the time.

 

how low are you?

You definitely want to stick to a 43 to 45 offset for your wheels especially if they are of the 16x7 variety. I run an 18x7 Ro-ja with a 215/35/18 falken fk451 on my '99 Si for the shows. I drive my car to every show and it is probably lowered in the neighborhood of 2.25-2.5 inches. The Ro-ja's are a 45 offset and the car does not rub a bit. To answer your tire question in your other post, I would recommend the Falken fk451. You can get them in a 205/45/16 or 215/40/16(the 215will give a wider appearance and more contactpatch). I ve travelled to approximately 10 shows this summer and have logged over 20k miles on my fk451 and I still have two that are in good condition (replaced front two, hard driving doesn't help treadlife.)

 

I got mugen rg 16x7 with an offset of 43, and they fit great.

 

Great info I am going with the 45mm offset slipstreams then. That is also great about the tires. You dont think that the wider size will causing any rubbing? I love the look of the wider tires but was kinda worried about the width.
